Dr. Dorothy Bray, the President of the Endocan Corporation, stated, "It is impressive that Health Canada had chosen to open the market to inspected and certified medical cannabis. The Canadian government's support to monitor and provide high quality medical cannabis will bring clear benefits to Canadian patients. We look forward to bringing our products and services to the market with such a significant global awareness and new political climate."

The Canadian Press article, as released by the Huffington Post:

OTTAWA - The Conservative government is launching a $1.3-billion free market in medical marijuana this Tuesday, eventually providing an expected 450,000 Canadians with quality weed.

Health Canada is phasing out an older system on Monday that mostly relied on small-scale, homegrown medical marijuana of varying quality, often diverted illegally to the black market.

In its place, large indoor marijuana farms certified by the RCMP and health inspectors will produce, package and distribute a range of standardized weed, all of it sold for whatever price the market will bear. The first sales are expected in the next few weeks, delivered directly by secure courier.

"We're fairly confident that we'll have a healthy commercial industry in time," Sophie Galarneau, a senior official with the department, said in an interview.

Health Canada is placing no limits on the number of these new capital-intensive facilities, which will have mandatory vaults and security systems. Private-dwelling production will be banned. Imports from places such as the Netherlands will be allowed.
